Just nasty. Stella Luna can't leave the neighbourhood soon enough. Hopefully Sharpfle can bounce back with a bigger, better location (and a better landlord!)

Hey @Telegraph, I’m curious to know who your sources are on this one. Did you get one of the specially trained killer-dolphins to go on record?

What will the storm look like when it hits Ottawa? Here are 3 different projections for 4pm or 5pm:

Take this storm seriously. Most people that were injured during the derecho were outside during the storm. Stay inside, cancel your plans.

Is the welcome to Ukrainian refugees unusually generous — or overtly racist? https://t.co/o2zwXEHk3t

Are there any #immigration experts here in Canada who can help Anna’s family navigate the Canadian visa process? On #Ukrainecast she mentioned her family was having trouble understanding our immigration/visa websites.

She says they have a place to stay here.

The so-called “Freedom Convoy” stole our rights to gather peacefully from us, and government did nothing while white supremacists filled our city with Islamophobic, Anti-Semitic, and anti-trans rhetoric.

Fuck Trump and all his cronies, especially the Canadian ones.

One corporation thats not been spoken abt throughout the entire #OttawaOccupation has been @Airbnb and their complicity in willingly housing occupiers in their units.

I know several friends downtown who have AirBnB units close to them and a lot of them were housing occupiers 1/3

Even if Ukraine intercepted missiles and aircraft trying to level parts of the city, debris can still do damage. These photos (from a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel) purport to show damage to an apartment block in Kyiv.

Civilians will pay the price for this war of aggression.

Interesting use of the word “mortified.”

Mortified he said these things? Nah.

Mortified that his drunken, hateful ranting is on display for all to see? Yeah, that’s the one.

[Marieke Walsh @MariekeWalsh]

“I’m mortified,” Senator MacDonald told CTV News.
He said he will issue an apology in the Senate on Monday.
“I’m going to go up and take my medicine," he said. "I have always been a responsible senator. I’ve let a lot of people down.”

[Christiane Wilke @jaanewilke]

#Ottawa residents are used to being around protests. But for the last three weeks they haven’t just been “inconvenienced” but actually targeted, intimidated, spat on. It’s not a political protest if you target a neighborhood. It’s terror.

Things that don't exist in Canada:
-First Amendment rights, or absolute freedom of expression at all
-Second Amendment rights
-Miranda rights
-The right to "plead the Fifth" (as in Fifth Amendment)

Seriously, learn something about your own damn country, people.

"Stay safe" has basically become our new "hi/bye."

It's been a troubling realization in covering the convoy that no matter what the facts are, some people feel this behaviour is justified, and they'll continue unabashedly.

It is not OK what's happening.

Can we get a 👏 for all the journalists out there risking their own safety, continuously being heckled and jeered, so that the rest of us can follow along from behind a screen? 🙏
